See gnus-audio.el @ line 119:

	(defvar gnus-startup-jingle "Tuxedomoon.Jingle4.au"
	  "Name of the Gnus startup jingle file.")

And look in e.g. /usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/sounds.

Frankly, it's rather a demented and surreal thing to hear every time
Gnus starts.  I enabled it for a while several times, but invariably
I've had to do away with it after a fairly short time.
